Forget the audience, make what you want to see

I wanted to make a love story without being nerdy.

My movies are not about being, but becoming.

Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.

It’s about misunderstandings between people and places, being disconnected and looking for moments of connection. There are so many moments in life when people don’t say what they mean, when they are just missing each other, waiting to run into each other in a hallway.

I've always written my own scripts, I really like doing everything from the beginning and taking it all the way through, I've probably learned that from my dad.

I love that feeling of when it's touching and it makes you happy but there's a melancholy or bittersweet glaze to it.
